What makes it so special is
it's simplicity. We humans evolved to forage and hunt and it was much
easier to gather nuts, grains, fruit and vegetables than it was to hunt
and kill animals, specially animals that were liable to turn around and
hunt you instead.

This was especially true for the people of the Mediterranean. With
great weather for growing all kinds of vegetables and fruit, rice,
pulses, nuts and olives, and having the abundant sea always on their
doorstep the French Spanish, Italian, Greek, Turkish and North African
peoples enjoyed advantages that many of us lacked.

Ancel
Keys

This healthiest known diet in the world was re-discovered in 1958, when
a young
American physician called Ancel Keys and his team, discovered that the
majority of the Mediterranean people lived longer and healthier
lives.

He was able
to link this to their diet!

Whole
Foods - Unprocessed and Unrefined

Because there were not the processed food options of today, they made
the most of what was available and paid a lot of attention to food
preparation, flavour and family meal times.

So - plenty of exercise
- working in the fields or tending their nets, followed by good food,
company and wine - what more could you ask?
